By no stretch of the imagination can they be accused of pushing themselves to the fore. Very reserved, they make do with a hole in the suspended ceiling and hardly take up any space. But performance, yes, they still deliver. Once you have learned to appreciate low-voltage recessed spotlights, you will hardly want to do without them again. Because they are simply top candidates for effective, functional and focused light. See for yourself.
Installation is not quite as simple as with an ordinary ceiling light. If you don't have a knack for craftsmanship, it's better to turn to a specialist. This is how he will proceed: In a attached ceiling, which consequently hides a cavity behind it, he drills a hole without further ado. The measurements can be found in the product details. Then the connection is made and the low-voltage recessed spotlight is elegantly pressed into the hole.
They are certainly quite compact and flat. That's what makes it so charming compared to a ceiling light that takes up a lot of space. When installing low-voltage recessed spotlights, the specified dimensions and distances must of course be observed. These can be found in the product details in the shop or in the practical installation instructions supplied with each light.

If you want to add the finishing touches to your wellness oasis with a free-standing bath and tropical shower, recessed spotlights are a good choice. They provide harmonious and functional illumination for your bathroom - but only safely if you pay attention to the appropriate protection rating. Because electricity and moisture are certainly not going to be friends. The low-voltage recessed spotlight must therefore be protected against moisture ingress. Not only in the bathroom, by the way, but also in the kitchen - keyword haze.
It is best to ask an electrician to assess which protection class is appropriate. Because he knows that special requirements apply to the bathroom. The closer to the bath and shower, the higher the IP protection rating of the luminaire must be.
An overview of the different IP protection types and what they mean can be found in this practical table:
Yes, and always. This is because they operate at a lower voltage and therefore cannot be connected to the normal mains supply (230V). For this reason, they require a transformer or power supply unit or an LED driver that converts the mains voltage from 230V. The advantage of the so-called low voltage is that the light sources in low-voltage recessed spotlights usually last longer than light sources in corresponding high-voltage luminaires.
Tip: When installing the low-voltage recessed spotlights, the prescribed minimum distance to other components must be observed. The transformer should not be mounted too close to the luminaire due to heat generation.

Would you like to make yourself comfortable? You certainly can't do without dimmed brightness. And you don't have to. Because even low-voltage recessed spotlights can be dimmed with the right dimmer. Important: The transformer must also be dimmed. However, the dimmer must also be matched to this. Too complicated? Then simply ask our specialist consultants how to dim them correctly. You will find the contact details below.
Just a low-voltage recessed spotlight? That is not enough. You think so too, don't you? So why not buy the good pieces as a set, for example for ten or three people? Definitely makes sense.
